Drugs in the AFL

[Turbo]

I think players are fair game during the season, their private lives can fall under the microscope to an extent. However, I think that during the off-season, when these blokes are basically on holiday, then what they do with their time is totally off-limits. The fact that their private lives are coming under scrutiny during this period is complete muckraking and is a total reflection of the insidious nature of journalists like Wilson.

Well explain the fact he turned up at training "disorientated" during the season, and subsequently suspended for 2 weeks. Don't forget many people working get drug and alcohol tested every day. And they don't get 3 striked. I don't feel sorry for anyone on that type of money. Pay me that much and you can scrutinise me as much as you like.

I'm starting to get worried. I'm agreeing with TSG. Must be the drugs I'm on

[Hondo]

Yeah same here turbo

Completely on board with TSG for a change

[RustyCage]

and that's a police responsibility, isn't it?

it would be, but it would also be written into players contracts that they aren't to take anything at any time, so then getting constantly tested and scrutinised would be fair enough

Eddie and Bucks are not happy chappys about this.

Collingwood have a history of sticking by players who "stray". Ask for a trade however, look out.

[Dogwatcher]

I think most clubs would do the same. Unless the player was irredeemable, Collingwood aren't alone.

Too Collingwoods credit they have stood by Didak, Heath Shaw and Swan (I'm forgetting someone) when they have stepped over the line in recent times.

If they sacked all the losers, pissheads and criminals they'd be worse than Melbourne.

[Hondo]

They stood by Shaw twice

Only lost patience with Wellingham if that article is correct

[The Sleeping Giant]

Wellingham asked for a trade didn't he?

You should have seen the disappointment on Dane Swan's face when he had an ice bath for the first time.
It wasn't what he expected.

Like I said, fair game during the season.

You would agree that even though they are scrutinised during the off season, they ate still on a damn good wicket with their workplace drug policy compared to the average joe?

I've never had to piss into a cup (well, there was this one time, but let's not go there).

I'd be pretty angry if someone wanted to piss test me while I was on annual leave.

The average joe would have his failed drug test result splashed across every paper in the country.
